Happy feast day of Pope St. John Paul II!

"Young people of every continent, do not be afraid to be the saints of the new millennium! Be contemplative, love prayer; be coherent with your faith and generous in the service of your brothers and sisters, be active members of the Church and builders of peace."

(Message of the Holy Father to the youth of the world on the occasion of the 15th World Youth Day, June 29, 1999)

Happy Feast of St. Pope John Paul II! 🙏

The feast of St. John Paul II is celebrated on October 22 because it marks the anniversary of the inauguration of his pontificate in 1978.

On October 22, 1978, he celebrated the Mass inaugurating his ministry as Pope, delivering his famous appeal to the world:

“Be not afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ!”

He was elected Pope on October 16, 1978, but the Church chose October 22 as his liturgical memorial to commemorate the beginning of his papal ministry.

St. John Paul II was canonized by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014, Divine Mercy Sunday.

🙏 October 22 is therefore a day to remember his extraordinary pontificate and his call to the world to open its heart to Christ.

Happy Feast of St Teresa of Avila!🙏❤️ “Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.” ✨ May we embrace each day with joy, trust his timing, and rest in the assurance that God is with us and guiding us every step of this life! St Teresa, pray for us! ❤️‍🔥

If you’re overwhelmed, this is for you!

[EWTNGB @EWTNGB]

St Teresa of Ávila knew what it meant to struggle with prayer and the difficulties of everyday life. Perhaps that's why, more than 400 years later, she still feels like a friend who understands us.

Happy Feast Day of St. Carlo Acutis!

As we mark the day dedicated to the patron of computer programmers and young people, his mother, Antonia Salzano, shares the message her son would give to the world: “Life is precious and must not be wasted. We must make the most of our lives for eternity.”

Thank you to Fr Michael, @StdunstansS for leading our Y10 class as they attended the parish Mass and read the readings! We always appreciate the opportunity to lead the Mass each week on a Thursday, and your homily about God wanting us to knock and ask really spoke to us! 🙏❤️‍🔥
